I mostly do it for exercise but I'm interested in figures since they may be coming back.

No way I can jump or play hockey so it would be nice if there was something for us old folks to do.

Recently passed pre-bronze moves so I'm working on the next one now.

Pre-Bronze moves is a real milestone. Congrats!

I recall that it took around 3-4 years before I was ready to test Pre-Bronze moves. The subsequent Bronze and Silver tests took only a year or two to master. Once I did Pre-Bronze, it was all downhill from there*. I hope that it works that way for you, too.

*Until Gold, which I haven't tested.
